| [Ynet] With fighting in the Gaza Strip winding down in intensity, the focus of Israel's senior government and military officials has shifted northward. Following the elimination of five senior Hezbollah commanders last week and the terror organization’s response of launching widespread rocket barrages into the Galilee region, it is evident that the military confrontation at the Lebanon border is reaching a boiling point. The Air Force continued to pound targets in southern Lebanon Thursday morning, following the elimination of several targets in the Syrian capital of Damascus and the southern Lebanon village of Kafra overnight. IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi visited the Galilee on Tuesday and conducted a situation assessment with the 146th Division, before meeting with the local alert squad in the border farming community of Shtula. Halevi told them, "Hezbollah decided on the evening of October 7 to join the conflict and will pay a very heavy price for it," assuring that residents would return home to a place safe from terrorists. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who paid a visit to the Northern Command the previous day, said that the Security Cabinet is "planning to intensify the firepower against Hezbollah, which is failing to find replacements for the commanders we are eliminating." Despite the frustration of residents displaced from their homes nearly five months ago, with their return still appearing distant, and amid extensive rocket barrages and continuous firing by anti-tank missile units at the evacuated settlements, the IDF maintains that the war's achievements to date have shifted the balance of power regarding Hezbollah's threat to northern settlements. However, the campaign is far from over. Israel is light into the Nations - showing the World that there's only one way of productive communication with Muslims. |
